"With Quinton, he had surgery like three weeks ago," Ryan said, referring to the Aug. 20 procedure performed on Coples' ankle. "He's done an unbelievable job in his rehab. That would be something if we could get him back. I'm not sure how possible that is but we'll see."

Ryan said Coples did not participate in practice with teammates. Instead, he worked on conditioning drills.

"He wasn't really with the team," Ryan said. "He was with our trainers and strength and conditioning guys. I think he did some individual drills, though not with the group. By himself."

Coples' defensive teammates are eager for him to return. The speedy pass rusher is another weapon for Ryan to deploy against opposing offenses, which have had little success in two games against the Jets.

Wilkerson described the injury: "A little soreness, but that’s part of the game. Just a sprain. I stepped on somebody’s foot and rolled it. That’s about it. Right now, I should be fine" to play against the Bills.

Wilkerson said he participated fully in practice.

Jeremy Kerley will have to be cleared by a physician before he can play Sunday, but the wide receiver returned to the field today after suffering a concussion in Week 1. Kerley wore a red jersey, signifying that during drills no player is allowed to make contact with him.
